Now, with the help of this amazing community I've been blessed to be a part of, I will try my best to give back the information I've learned for those hoping to embark on a journey of their own.

    Obviously, everyone is different and requires different amounts of recovery, but don't ever feel like you NEED to train everyday in order to see results. If you're actually training hard and pushing yourself each session, then your body needs to rest. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking 2 or 3 days off per week, in fact, it can be very beneficial for most people. Remember, muscle takes plenty of time to build, and if you aren't providing your body with the right recovery, you'll just end up digging yourself into a hole.

      I rest once per week because my workouts don’t end up with me needing a wheelchair or AED shock. If I train harder then that will require more time to recover.
      Anyways great work growing your channel keep it up 👑💪

      Idk but I started lifting early December and since then everytime I work out (3 times a week each time targeting a different part of my body) I just keep on adding weight and reps(the limit of which is when I reach failure)

    Totally agree. I used to train 6 days a week too, initially it was going great but got to a point where I felt that I can’t lift with the same energy and my muscles felt sore a lot. Decided to switch to 5 days a week and overall it improved everything. I can lift heavier, I can lift with more intensity and it helped me recover better. Don’t be scared to take rest days guys!

    i’ve stepped away from tracking rest days on a weekly basis. I now take anywhere from 30-31 days off per month dependent upon how much metabolic or mechanical stresses i’ve endured recently. For example, if i get out of bed too fast in the morning or i eat too much dessert at my wife’s boyfriend’s house. I will definitely opt for the maximum rest period. We have to start taking rest periods seriously my brothers.. longevity is key.

    I rest two times per week...how ever I notice that you get more out of your workouts when you got more energy(obvious) thus...if you rest two days back to back...by your 5th workout day you are already mentally ready for your break which takes away from your focus being 100% on your workouts. I still take 2 days off now, however, I work out 3 days, rest 1, workout 2 days, rest 1...repeat. I feel much better and can focus more on my workouts.😎

    So now he trains 4 days a week and is already bigger than he was because he didn't realize that overtraining caused serious stress on the body to where is just fails and that stress increases cortisol therefore was killing his gains anyways . I'm glad he is better now I just wish it didn't take a injury to convince him

    I can relate with you. I alternate rest day from 1-3. Each one of them give me a different look. Like super Saiyan 1-2 and 3 💪🏾
